You make money on Pinterest by sending its shopping and planning traffic somewhere that earns: affiliate links, tagged products, paid brand partnerships, your own shop or digital products, a blog with ads, or a service. Pinterest says it does not facilitate payment for these, so income comes from the destination, built over months of steady pinning.
Pinterest is unusual among social networks because people come to plan and buy, not just to scroll. Someone searching "small kitchen storage ideas" or "minimalist wedding invitations" is about to do something, and that intent is what makes Pinterest traffic valuable. It is also why Pinterest rewards patience: a Pin can keep sending visitors long after it is published. This guide covers eight realistic ways to earn, the setup and rules for each, which niches convert, what to measure and a six-month plan, with every platform rule taken from Pinterest's own help centre and policies as of October 2026.
Key findings
- Pinterest is a big, shopping-minded audience. Pinterest's company page reports 640 million monthly active users, and its June 2026 Amazon Storefront announcement says more than 50% of users come to shop and people search more than 80 billion times a month.
- Pinterest does not pay you directly. Its creator monetisation guide lists website links, affiliate links, product tagging and brand partnerships, and says Pinterest does not facilitate payment for affiliate links, product tagging or partnerships.
- Affiliate links are allowed, with rules. Pinterest's commercial content guidelines ask affiliates to run one account, keep content original, disclose links and avoid creating affiliate Pins repetitively or in large volumes.
- Pins have a long life. Pinterest says there is no set engagement window and engagement can come hours, days, months or years after publishing.
- Gen Z is now half the audience. Pinterest's audience page says Gen Z makes up 50% of its global user base and is its fastest-growing audience.
- Engagement rose in 2025. Buffer's 2026 report found Pinterest's median engagement rate rose to about 3.9% in 2025 from about 3.2% in 2024, with video at 5.75% and images at 3.15%.
What's changed in 2026
Amazon Storefront linking
On 10 June 2026, Pinterest announced that creators can connect their Amazon Storefront so their affiliate link is applied automatically when they tag an eligible Amazon product, with no copying and pasting. Its help article says the Storefront can also appear on your Pinterest profile, that you need a business account and membership of the Amazon Influencer Program, and that Pins with affiliate links automatically carry an affiliate link disclosure. Pinterest says Storefront linking with other partners is coming.
Monetisation moved into the Creator Hub
Pinterest's creator guide now groups monetisation around a business profile and the Creator Hub, which is in the mobile app on your profile page, below your bio and stats. The paid partnership tool and Pin stats both need a free business profile.
Clearer partnership and affiliate rules
The commercial and branded content guidelines, last updated in April 2025, set out what affiliates may and may not do, including no fake accounts, no quid pro quo saves and no asking others to create Pins with your affiliate identifier. Creators in the European Economic Area must include a clear disclosure of commercial purpose.
A younger audience
With Gen Z at half of Pinterest's global users, according to its own audience page, and "the main reason Gen Z uses Pinterest is to find information about products or brands", the platform is no longer only a home for wedding and recipe planners. Niches such as fashion, beauty, room decor and study aesthetics have grown alongside the classics.
Why Pinterest traffic is worth money
- Intent. People search Pinterest to plan a purchase, a project or an event. Pinterest's holiday page says 60% of users say Pinterest helps them make decisions at every stage of their festive shopping journey.
- Longevity. A good Pin can send visitors for months or years, so each one you publish adds to a growing library rather than disappearing within a day.
- Outbound clicks are the point. Pinterest's own creator guide tells you to add a link to your site on every Pin and track outbound clicks in Pin stats.
- Search behaviour. Pinterest works more like a visual search engine than a feed, so keyword-rich titles and descriptions matter. Our guide on how the Pinterest algorithm works explains the ranking signals.
- Saving is a habit. Pinterest's company page reports 1.5 billion Pins saved every week. A save is a bookmark for later, which is why Pins that solve a planning problem keep earning long after you publish them.
The trade-off is patience. Pinterest income compounds from a library of Pins built over months, not from one viral post.
The 8 ways to make money on Pinterest
| Method | What you need | Time to first income | Income potential |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Affiliate links | An affiliate program, clear disclosure, ideally a blog | Weeks to months | Low to medium |
| 2. Product tagging and Amazon Storefront | A business account and an eligible affiliate setup | Weeks to months | Low to medium |
| 3. Brand partnerships | An engaged audience in a niche brands want | Months | Variable |
| 4. Blog or website traffic | A site with ads, products or email capture | Months | Medium to high |
| 5. Digital products | Templates, printables, guides or courses | Weeks to months | Medium to high |
| 6. Physical products and a shop | An online shop; a catalog for product Pins | Weeks | Medium to high |
| 7. Services | A service Pinterest users plan for | Weeks | Medium |
| 8. Pinterest management for others | Pinterest skills and results to show | Weeks | Medium |
1. Affiliate links
Pinterest allows affiliate links on Pins. You join an affiliate program first; Pinterest is not part of that agreement, so commission terms come from the merchant or network. The commercial content guidelines set the rules: operate one Pinterest account, make affiliate content original and useful, disclose the commercial nature of your links, use links in moderation and do not create affiliate Pins repetitively or in large volumes. Some link shorteners are not supported, so use the full destination link. Check each affiliate program's own rules too, since some restrict where their links can appear.
Many successful affiliates link Pins to a blog post that reviews or compares products rather than straight to a retailer. The article builds trust, earns from several links and captures email addresses, so each visitor is worth more.
2. Product tagging and Amazon Storefront
Product tagging lets you tag products in a Pin so people can shop what they see. Pinterest's creator guide lists it as a monetisation programme. The newest version is Amazon Storefront linking: once connected, Pinterest applies your Amazon affiliate information automatically when you tag Amazon products, and your Storefront can appear on your profile. It suits fashion, home and beauty creators whose Pins already show products.
3. Brand partnerships
Brands pay creators to make Pins featuring their products. Pinterest's creator guide lists five types: paid partnerships, product-only or service-only deals, user-generated content for the brand's own channels, giveaways, and trips, events or speaking engagements. Use the paid partnership tool for every paid collaboration: you toggle the label in a Pin's advanced settings and tag one brand, which then approves or declines. The label cannot be added after a Pin is published, so set it before you post. Pinterest does not handle payment; you agree terms directly with the brand, and the brand may promote your Pin as an ad.
4. Blog or website traffic
Pinterest is a major traffic source for food, home, DIY, travel, parenting, fashion and personal finance sites. Earnings come from display ads, affiliate links, sponsored posts and products on the site. Create several fresh Pin designs for each article and spread them over weeks. Claim your website so Pins from your site show your profile picture and link back to your account; each site can be claimed by only one Pinterest account, and marketplace stores such as Etsy, eBay and Amazon cannot be claimed.
5. Digital products
Planners, templates, printables, presets, guides and courses fit Pinterest well, because Pinners search for exactly these things. Link Pins to a landing page with a preview, a clear price and an obvious buy button. A free sample, such as one page of a planner, works well as a lead magnet that brings people back later.
6. Physical products and a shop
If you sell products, a retail catalog turns your product feed into product Pins, which Pinterest formats so people know they are shoppable and which can be promoted as shopping ads. You need a business account, a claimed website, the Pinterest tag and a site that meets the merchant guidelines, including visible contact details, a shipping policy and a refund policy. Feeds can be TSV, CSV, XML or Google Sheets, with required fields such as id, title, description, link, image link, price and availability. Lifestyle images showing products in use often outperform plain product shots on Pinterest.
7. Services
Wedding photographers, interior designers, florists, event planners, coaches and architects use Pinterest to show their work to people who are actively planning. Link Pins to a portfolio or booking page and use location keywords where relevant, such as "Lisbon wedding photographer".
8. Pinterest management for others
Many small businesses know Pinterest matters but have no time for it. Managing accounts, designing Pins and planning seasonal campaigns is a real service. Results from your own account are your best portfolio, and a clear monthly package, such as 40 fresh Pins, board maintenance and a report, makes it easy to sell.
Key takeaway: Pinterest pays you through your destination, not through the platform. The better your landing page converts, the more each Pin is worth.
Pinterest's rules for earning, in one table
Most monetisation problems on Pinterest come from breaking a rule without realising it. These are the rules that matter most, from Pinterest's policies and help centre and the US Federal Trade Commission.
| Situation | The rule | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Affiliate Pins | One account, original content, disclosure, links in moderation, no repetitive or high-volume affiliate Pins | Pinterest commercial content guidelines |
| Paid partnerships | Clear disclosure such as #ad or the paid partnership label; one brand per Pin; label set before publishing | Pinterest guidelines and paid partnership help |
| Links and redirects | No unsafe, deceptive or unoriginal destinations; no redirecting existing Pins to new destinations; shorteners abused for spam may be blocked | Pinterest community guidelines |
| Earning from traffic | Monetisation that is misleading or adds no value for Pinners is restricted | Pinterest community guidelines |
| Disclosure placement (US) | Put the disclosure with the endorsement, not only on a profile page, at the end or behind "more" | FTC Disclosures 101 |
| Platform labels (US) | A platform's built-in tool is not automatically enough; the brand and the influencer stay responsible | FTC Endorsement Guides FAQ |
The FTC's guidance says plain words such as "ad", "advertisement" and "sponsored" work, while vague terms such as "sp", "spon" or "collab" should be avoided. Use Pinterest's label and a plain-language disclosure together, at the start of the description, and repeat it on the landing page next to the links.
Making money by niche
Pinterest income depends heavily on niche. The categories where Pinners plan and buy tend to earn most, but each earns in a different way.
| Niche | Best earning routes | Pin ideas that convert | Seasonal peaks to plan for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home and decor | Affiliate links, product tagging, digital room-planning guides | Before-and-after rooms, "shop the look" Pins, small-space ideas | Spring refresh, back to school, holidays |
| Food and recipes | Blog ads, recipe ebooks, kitchen affiliate links | Step-by-step recipe Pins, meal-prep plans, collections | Holidays, summer grilling, back to school lunches |
| Weddings and events | Services, printables, affiliate links | Checklists, budget breakdowns, colour palettes, venue ideas | Engagement season and the months before peak wedding dates |
| Fashion and beauty | Product tagging, Amazon Storefront, brand partnerships | Outfit formulas, capsule wardrobes, routines | Season changes, holiday parties, festivals |
| Personal finance and education | Digital products, courses, email lists, blog ads | Budget templates, study planners, infographics | New Year, tax season, back to school |
| Travel | Blog ads, affiliate bookings, guides | Itineraries, packing lists, "where to stay" maps | Summer planning in winter, holiday travel |
Before committing to a niche, check three things. Is there search demand? Type the topic into Pinterest search and look at the suggestions. Is there something to buy? Affiliate programs, products or services that solve the problem people search for. And can you make many fresh Pins about it? Pinterest's own guidance is to create Pins frequently and consistently and to aim for original content every week, which a narrow niche cannot sustain. Pinterest Trends shows when searches for a keyword start rising, with up to two years of history, so you can see whether demand is steady or seasonal.
Making money by business type
Creators without a website
Start with affiliate links, product tagging and brand partnerships, which all work from Pinterest itself. Build a recognisable style in one niche, use the Creator Hub and paid partnership tool, and keep a simple media kit with your profile, key metrics and sample Pins, as Pinterest's creator guide suggests. Add a free landing page or newsletter as soon as you can, so you own some of the audience.
Bloggers and publishers
Pinterest is a traffic engine for your site. Claim your website, make several Pin designs per article and track which posts earn the most per visitor. Income then comes from ads, affiliate links and your own products on the site, and the article does the selling.
Ecommerce brands
Set up a catalog so products become shoppable Pins, then mix product Pins with inspiration Pins that show products in use. Our guide to social media for ecommerce covers how Pinterest fits alongside Instagram and TikTok.
Service businesses
Treat Pinterest as a portfolio that people search. Every finished project can become five or six Pins, each linking to a case study or booking page. Location keywords in titles and boards help local clients find you.
Making money by account stage
Months 1 to 3: building the library
Expect little income. The job is publishing consistently, learning which topics get saves and outbound clicks, and making sure every Pin leads to a page that can earn. Most people quit here, which is exactly why the accounts that keep going stand out.
Months 4 to 9: finding winners
A handful of Pins will start sending most of your traffic. Make new designs for those topics, write more articles or products around them, and add an email capture to the pages they lead to. Income usually becomes visible in this stage.
Month 10 onwards: compounding
Your library keeps working while you add to it. Seasonal Pins published last year resurface, partnerships become easier to pitch with a track record, and promoting your best organic Pins with ads can make sense because you already know they convert.
Making money by Pin format
Different Pin formats do different jobs in a money-making account. A healthy mix covers discovery, trust and the click.
Standard image Pins
The workhorse of most earning accounts. A tall 2:3 image with a clear text overlay and a keyword-led title, linked to a page that earns. Pinterest's creative guidance suggests placing the visual in the middle, key messaging at the top and extra details at the bottom. Make several designs per destination and rotate them over weeks.
Video Pins
In Buffer's 2025 data, video was the strongest Pinterest format by median engagement, at 5.75% against 3.15% for images. Short how-tos, before-and-after reveals and product demos suit it. Pinterest's ad specs allow video from 4 seconds to 15 minutes and recommend 6 to 15 seconds. Use video to win attention and image Pins to keep a steady flow of clicks.
Product Pins
Product Pins from a catalog carry price and availability and are formatted so people know they can buy. They are the most direct route to a sale for shops, and they can be promoted as shopping ads once you know which products sell.
Tagged and partnership Pins
Pins with tagged products or a paid partnership label are how creators earn without their own site. Keep them in proportion to your inspiration content, so your profile still feels useful rather than like a catalog.
Building a media kit for brand deals
Pinterest's creator guide suggests pitching brands with a media kit that covers your profile, key metrics and sample content or past collaborations. A one-page kit with these sections is enough to start.
| Section | What to include | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| Who you are | Niche, audience and the problems your Pins solve | Your bio and top boards |
| Reach | Monthly impressions and audience size | Pinterest analytics |
| Engagement | Saves and outbound clicks over the last 90 days, plus click-through rate | Pin stats |
| Best work | Three to five Pins with their results | Your top Pins by outbound clicks |
| Past partners | Brands and what you delivered | Your records |
| Packages | What a brand gets, such as a set number of Pins, boards or a giveaway | Your own offer |
| Disclosure | How you label paid content | Pinterest's paid partnership tool and FTC guidance |
Keep the kit current and send it with a short, specific pitch: which product, which Pins, which season and why your audience will care. Creators juggling several networks can find more on audience-building in our content creators page.
How to set up a Pinterest account that earns: a 10-step method
- Create or convert to a business account. It is free and unlocks Pin stats, the paid partnership tool and the Creator Hub.
- Claim your website using an HTML tag, an HTML file or a DNS record, so Pins from your site are attributed to you.
- Pick one niche and three to five content pillars, using Pinterest search suggestions and Pinterest Trends to confirm demand.
- Create 8 to 15 boards named with keywords people actually search, such as "small balcony garden ideas" rather than "my garden".
- Design Pin templates at 2:3, 1000 by 1500 pixels. Pinterest's product specs say taller ratios may be cut off in feeds. See our Pinterest sizes guide and use the free Pinterest image resizer.
- Write keyword-rich titles and descriptions. Titles can run to 100 characters, but Pinterest's creative best practices say the first 40 are most likely to show, and descriptions can run to 800 characters. Check them with the Pinterest character counter.
- Tag every link with UTM parameters. Google Analytics says you should always use utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campaign. Our UTM builder keeps them consistent; see the UTM parameters glossary for naming.
- Set up the earning layer for your route: affiliate programs, a catalog, a product page or a booking page, with disclosures in place.
- Batch and schedule a month of Pins at a time, several fresh designs per page, spread over weeks rather than all on one day. Our guide to batch content creation shows how to make a month in one session.
- Review Pin stats monthly and make more of whatever earns outbound clicks and sales, not just impressions.
What to measure
Track income back to Pins, not just traffic. Pinterest's Pin stats are available with a business account and include four core metrics for every Pin.
| Metric | Pinterest's definition | What it tells you about money |
|---|---|---|
| Impressions | The number of times your Pins or ads were on screen | Whether Pinterest is showing the Pin; not a money signal on its own |
| Saves | The number of times people saved your Pin to a board | Future reach; saved Pins keep resurfacing. See save rate |
| Pin clicks | Taps on a Pin that lead to a destination on or off Pinterest | Interest in the idea |
| Outbound clicks | Clicks to the destination URL on your Pin | Visitors who can earn you money; the metric to optimise |
Then connect those to revenue in your website analytics using UTM tags: conversions or sales by campaign, and earnings per 1,000 visitors from Pinterest so you can compare it fairly with other channels. Our social media ROI guide shows how to put the numbers together.
A seasonal Pinterest calendar
Pinterest users plan ahead, so seasonal Pins published late miss most of the demand. Use Pinterest Trends to see when searches for your keywords begin to rise, then publish before that point. As a working rule, start seasonal Pins about two months before the event and keep adding fresh designs until it passes.
| Publish in | For | Example Pins |
|---|---|---|
| November and December | New Year goals, budgeting, fitness, organisation | Budget templates, habit trackers, pantry organisation |
| January and February | Spring cleaning, Easter, garden planning, wedding season | Cleaning checklists, seed planners, invitation ideas |
| March and April | Summer travel, outdoor living, graduation | Packing lists, patio ideas, party themes |
| May and June | Back to school, late-summer trips | Lunchbox ideas, study planners, dorm decor |
| July and August | Autumn decor, Halloween | Seasonal recipes, costume ideas, autumn outfits |
| August to October | Holiday gifts, festive food and decor | Gift guides, table settings, holiday baking |
Pinterest's holiday page says visual searches grew 2.3 times faster than text searches year over year last holiday season, which is a good reason to invest in clear, attractive images for your biggest seasonal Pins.
Worked example: one blog post's Pinterest funnel
Here is how a single article can turn Pinterest traffic into income, using a fictional personal finance blog post titled "How to Plan a Wedding on a 10,000 Dollar Budget".
- The article gives a realistic budget breakdown, with a few disclosed affiliate links to budgeting tools and a free downloadable checklist.
- Five Pin designs point to it: a headline Pin, a checklist-style Pin, a collage of affordable venues, a budget breakdown chart and a "mistakes to avoid" Pin.
- Pins are published over six weeks, starting before wedding-planning searches rise in Pinterest Trends.
- Visitors land on the article. Some click affiliate links, some download the checklist in exchange for an email address, and the site earns display ad revenue on every visit.
- The email list receives a short sequence that includes a paid wedding budget spreadsheet.
Income comes from four places: ads, affiliates, the paid template and future emails. No single source is large, but together they make each Pin worth far more than a view-based payout would. The same pattern works for recipes, home projects, travel and education.
Realistic expectations
Pinterest income is real, but it is rarely fast, and anyone promising quick money from Pinterest alone deserves suspicion. Three things decide how much you earn:
- The niche. A topic where people plan purchases, such as home, weddings or fashion, earns more per visitor than a topic people browse for fun.
- The destination. A page with several ways to earn, such as an article with affiliate links, an email signup and ads, earns more from each click than a single product link.
- Consistency. Because Pins keep working for months, the size of your library matters more than any one Pin. Accounts that publish fresh Pins every week for a year usually outperform accounts that post in bursts.
Think of the first six months as building an asset. Most of the work happens before the money arrives, and the accounts that earn are usually the ones that kept going through that quiet stretch.
A six-month roadmap
| Month | Focus | Milestone |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Business account, claimed website, 8 to 15 keyword-named boards, Pin templates, UTM naming | Account ready; first month of Pins scheduled |
| 2 | Fresh Pins for your best existing pages; affiliate links or offers added where they fit | A consistent weekly rhythm |
| 3 | Review 60 days of Pin stats; new designs for Pins that earn saves and outbound clicks | First clear winners identified |
| 4 | New content for the searches your winners reveal; plan the next seasonal push | Content plan driven by Pinterest data |
| 5 | Seasonal Pins published ahead of demand; email lead magnet added | Email signups from Pinterest |
| 6 | Revenue by Pin and page reviewed; best organic Pins considered for promotion; media kit built | Earnings per 1,000 Pinterest visitors known |
The roadmap is deliberately unglamorous. Most Pinterest income comes from doing these steps consistently, not from any single clever tactic.
Using Pinterest ads to accelerate
Organic Pinterest is slow. If you have a product or lead magnet that already converts, promoting your best-performing organic Pins can speed things up. Start small, promote Pins that already earn saves and outbound clicks, target the keywords and interests your audience searches, and judge results by cost per sale or signup rather than clicks. Pinterest's holiday page reports an average incremental return on ad spend of 3.71 for its advertisers; treat a vendor's own average as a reason to test, not a forecast. Ads work best as an accelerator for something already working, not a substitute for it. If you run a paid partnership, remember that only the brand partner can promote that Pin as an ad.
Common mistakes (and how to fix them)
- Expecting Pinterest to pay you directly. Fix: build the earning layer first, whether affiliate links, a product or a service, then point Pins at it.
- Linking to a page that does not match the Pin. Pinterest asks that images, text and keywords match the landing page. Fix: one clear promise per Pin, kept on the page it opens.
- Hiding or skipping disclosures. Fix: use the paid partnership label for paid deals, put a plain "ad" or "affiliate link" note at the start of the description and repeat it near the links on your page.
- Mass-producing affiliate Pins. Pinterest's guidelines ask affiliates not to create affiliate Pins repetitively or in large volumes. Fix: fewer, original Pins that add value.
- Using link shorteners or changing destinations. Fix: use full links and never redirect an existing Pin to a new destination.
- Pinning only your own products. Fix: mix helpful inspiration with commercial Pins; pure catalogs rarely build an audience.
- Giving up after a month. Fix: commit to six months of steady pinning before judging results.
- Ignoring seasonality. Fix: check Pinterest Trends and publish seasonal Pins well before demand peaks.
- Not tracking. Fix: tag every link with UTMs so you can tell which Pins earn money and which only earn views.
- Vague board and Pin titles. Fix: lead with the words people search, in the first 40 characters.
- Re-saving the same Pin instead of making new ones. Pinterest recommends fresh, new content over repeatedly saving the same Pins. Fix: make new designs for pages that already work.
- Publishing in bursts. Fix: batch designs once a month and schedule them across the weeks.
Keeping the Pin flow steady
The biggest difference between Pinterest accounts that earn and those that do not is usually consistency over months. Pinterest's native scheduler lets you schedule a Pin up to 30 days ahead, with up to ten Pins queued at once, set up one at a time. That is fine for a few Pins a week but tight for a library-building plan.
Postprism is a social media scheduler that publishes image Pins to the board you choose, with title, description and destination link, from the same content calendar as LinkedIn, X, TikTok, YouTube and Bluesky. A practical monthly routine:
- Design in one sitting. Make 20 to 40 Pin designs for your best pages using your templates.
- Import them in bulk. Put each Pin's text, date and image link into a spreadsheet and upload it with bulk scheduling, check the preview table, then open each Pin in the editor to set its board, title and destination link.
- Spread them across the month on the calendar, so every week gets fresh Pins without daily effort.
- Reuse the idea elsewhere. The same post can carry a different version for LinkedIn or X, so one project feeds several networks.
The Pinterest publishing docs list the exact fields. For small businesses using Pinterest alongside other channels, see the small business page, or compare options on our Tailwind alternative page. For timing, see the best time to post on Pinterest.
Schedule Your Pinterest Pins in Advance
Batch a month of Pins in one sitting, place them across the weeks on one calendar, and let Postprism publish them to the right boards alongside every other network you use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Pinterest pay creators?
Pinterest's creator guide describes earning through website links, affiliate links, product tagging and brand partnerships, and says Pinterest does not facilitate payment for affiliate links, product tagging or partnerships. Income comes from merchants, brands and your own products, not from Pinterest paying per view.
Can you put affiliate links on Pinterest?
Yes. Pinterest allows affiliate links if you follow its commercial content guidelines: one account, original content, clear disclosure, links in moderation and no repetitive or high-volume affiliate Pins. Pins with affiliate links tagged through Amazon Storefront automatically carry an affiliate disclosure.
How many followers do you need to make money on Pinterest?
There is no follower threshold in Pinterest's creator guide. Affiliate links, product Pins and links to your own site work from day one; what matters is search traffic and outbound clicks. Brand partnerships are easier with an engaged audience and a media kit.
How long does it take to make money on Pinterest?
Usually several months. Pinterest says engagement can arrive hours, days, months or even years after a Pin is published, so income tends to build as your library of Pins grows. Plan for six months of steady pinning before judging results.
Do I need a blog to make money on Pinterest?
No, but it helps. Affiliate links, product tagging and brand partnerships work without a site. A blog or landing page lets you earn from ads, several affiliate links and email signups on each visit, so every click is worth more.
Do I need a Pinterest business account?
Yes, for most monetisation. A free business account gives you Pin stats, the paid partnership tool, the Creator Hub and catalogs, and you can convert a personal account.
What size should Pinterest Pins be?
Pinterest recommends a 2:3 aspect ratio, 1000 by 1500 pixels, and notes that taller ratios may be cut off in feeds. Titles can be up to 100 characters, with the first 40 most likely to show.
Can I schedule Pins in advance?
Yes. Pinterest's own tool schedules up to 30 days ahead with up to ten Pins queued. Postprism schedules image Pins with board, title, description and link from one calendar alongside 5 other networks, including bulk import from a spreadsheet.
